Dr. Anthony Fauci, a member of the coronavirus task force, had previously backed funding for a controversial lab in Wuhan, China that has been studying the coronavirus in bats, reports said. Fauci’s National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases had shelled out a total of $7.4 million to the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab — which has become the center of theories about the origin of Covid-19, according to Newsweek. The NIH and the Trump administration had shut down all funding to the lab last week, Politico reported on Monday.

In my humbled opinion, Dr. Fauci also has some "splaining" about his remark on January 11, 2017. He made the statement that "No doubt’ Trump will face surprise infectious disease outbreak." I would like to hear his answer.

What did he know and when did he know it? Was he involved in the development of the virus. Was he a paid advisor to Wuhan Institute? Lots of questions......no answers !!!

FTA: “Scientific research indicates that there is no evidence that suggests the virus was created in a laboratory.” This video from Epoch Times discusses the evidence and near certainty that the virus was re-engineered, or gene-spiced in a lab. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le_rfTdayLs

Why in the hell are we giving the Chinese Communist Party funding for anything?

I would absolutely love for President Trump to cold-call Fauci right in the middle of a press conference and say: "Dr. Fauci, our press has been commenting that you supported funding for the Wuhan Viral Lab run by the Communist Party of China - would you please comment?"

#5, Asks a very good question that not only applies to China but many other countries who are no friend of ours. Must we continue to fund our own destruction? I am convinced that Congress is a big part of our fiscal problems. It should be more responsible to the tax payers in this country. It doles out millions if not billions of our tax dollars to foreign governments while we are drowning in debt. This kind of malfeasance is unacceptable.
We also have far too many bureaucrats feeding at the tax payer trough while making deals on the side with anyone who will grease their palms. How is that kind of thing even ethical? From elected politicians to the bureaucracy, we have individuals who find themselves extremely wealthy through the contacts they make while on the job. Everyone seems to have some kind of deal going on. It is becoming apparent that we have individuals in the government who will sell their souls to anyone who has the cash to pay them. It disgusts me that they feel entitled to enrich themselves In any way they can because they work for the government.
Fauci does have a lot of explaining to do, but he is just doing what his peers have done for decades. Don’t be fooled for a second. Science is not done for science only. It is done primarily for the big bucks that comes with the territory. The research grants, the universities, the big pharmaceutical companies doing research all get a hand out from old Uncle Sam. From everything we have seen Dr. Fauci is a committed democrat and of course, he should be questioned about his comments. Maybe the President would have been better served with a larger group of scientists if he could find any without a hidden agenda.

Just another example that demonstrates that our government is for sale to the highest bidder.

We fund infection research around the world because it never just stays THERE. Covid started in China as a natural infection in bats. So it requires that we study it in China. And that means that when geography dictates we fund scientists from around the world to work for ALL our benefit. Yes, the Chinese government is our political and military enemy. But Covid-19 is an enemy of ALL mankind. There are some battles we must fight together.

Okay...why in China? Because the NIMBY crowd would go bonkers if the US tried to site one within many miles of any human habitation. And if any escapes...well, we aren't taking the blame and political heat.

Doctor Faust ... I keep doing that! ... "Dr." Fauci wants the pandemic to continue long enough for him to get the Noble Prize in Medicine and to have the vaccine named after him. He'd also like a stamp with his mug on it!

Fauci and his Masters Gates and allegedly Soros are just as deeply involved in this virus from the lab as Fauci is. No doubt Gates has promised Fauci the leadership job of his new lab when it gets up and running. If there has been any kind of silver lining to this, it is the exposure of Fauci's involvement with Gates, and even Soros own involvement with donations to that lab in Wuhan. It just seems like something besides the virus is building here, and I have my suspicions, but whatever it is, I sure hope that Trump pulls it off.

I understand the need for funding research in other countries and given the NIH budget a $3-$7 million project is not a lot of money. It is also chump change when you realize the trillions we have "given" China over the years between all of our outsourcing as well as their theft of our intellectual property.
But, I want to know why Fauci is steadfastly refers to the thousands and thousands of the hydroxy cocktail saved lives as just "anecdotal?" He and his deep state so-called scientists do not want that drug widely used for this Wuhan flu. Something is very, very wrong here. Also, why does the dear doctor keep pushing back the time when we can open the country? Now he says in the fall, yet half the time he is warning that in the fall the virus will return. And what in God's name was going on with him advocating people hook up on "dating" sites? That is sheer insanity or something else as the country remains in lockdown because of him.
We need reporters like Sara Carter to dig into Fauci's past and present because so many things are not making sense as the country goes deeper and deeper into not only an economic depression, but a mental depression. Too many people are afraid to go back to their normal lives. That has to stop and Fauci definitely could help on that score. But he apparently chooses not to. Why? Ms. Carter, are you out there?

From the beginning we knew that the CCP Virus had four insertions only present in HIV, which shares the same human receptor. Some propose that the CCP was trying to make a live virus vaccine to HIV. They may have inoculated a few people in Wuhan and it got out of hand. This would explain the inexplicable denial by the W.H.O. for weeks about human to human transmission. Look at the date of the letter linked here.

Perhaps, if the Chinese were successful, Chinese Coronavirus survivors will be immune to HIV. That would make Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates really, really happy with their vaccine.

Sooo it looks like Gates is transitioning to becoming a globalist, medical expert? As bad as Windows 10 is, maybe he thinks he has maxed out on the software career. We dont care what you think, Gates. If you are in on this Corona scam, too, that makes you a murderer as well. No, we are not going to get vaccinated w your diabolically contrived medicine.
Notice that when Fauci takes to the podium n microphone, he seems to be smirking beneath the facade? It's rather patronizing, as if he knows more than he is revealing, just humoring all the peasants.

Don't you just love the bureacratese? They are as culpable as Tony.

At any moment I'm expecting Fauci to come out with his endorsement for Demented Joe Biden. Don't trust the little man.

Isn't it all about the vaccine? Isn't that why Fauci wants the reopening of the country postponed so it can be developed, and then Fauci and others will benefit financially from whatever vaccine is made in Gates' laboratory? When Trump was running for the Presidency, we really did not know that much about the swamp; still don't, but it is everywhere.
